Game 124: Twins vs. Rangers

The Texas Rangers have agreed to play the Minnesota Twins in a baseball exhibition today. It is my understanding that the Twins were once a major league team.

2012 Game 6: Angels at Twins

12:10 PM
Francisco Liriano vs. Dan Haren

So, the Twins are well on their way to 158-4, the best record in franchise history. I wanted to take this game log to look at some recent signings by today's teams.

Josh Willingham Albert Pujols
Average .353 .222
OBP .421 .333
SLG .941 .667
Home runs 3 (on pace for 97) 0 (on pace for 0)
RBI 6 2
Contract 3 years/$21 million 10 years/$240 million

We're getting twice the production for a tenth of the contract. Is it really any wonder that the Twins are on pace to win 158 games?
